Conducting Patient-Oriented Research in Low-Income and Middle-Income Countries: A Scoping Review
ConclusionsResearchers in LMICs are incorporating patient-oriented research in their research; however, there is a need for improved reporting practices in published articles, and the use of frameworks to guide patient-oriented research in LMICs. In LMICs, patient-oriented research enhances collaboration across stakeholders and gives patients a sense of ownership over the interventions and research process. Future work should focus on developing contextually relevant conceptual frameworks and further studies should explore the impact of patient-oriented research on healthcare and patient outcomes in the LMIC context.

Development of an Item Bank to Assess Patient-Reported Outcomes: Signs, Symptoms, and Impacts of COVID-19
ConclusionsThe novel and preliminarily content-valid IQVIA COVID-19 Daily Diary Item BankĀ© and the IQVIA COVID-19 Weekly Diary Item BankĀ© were developed to measure signs and symptoms, their associated severity, and disease-related and pandemic-related impacts. The items are arranged in seven groups and can be individually selected based on research needs. (Source: The Patient - Patient-Centered Outcomes Research)

Patient Preferences for Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) Screening Tests
ConclusionsWhile there is significant heterogeneity in cancer screening preferences, the majority of participants preferred MCED screening and the accuracy of these tests is important. While the majority of participants preferred adding an MCED test to complement current cancer screenings, the latent class analyses identified a small (16%) and specific subset of individuals who value attributes differently, with particular concern regarding false-negative and false-positive test results, who are significantly less likely to opt-in.

Methods to Summarize Discrete-Choice Experiments in a Systematic Review: A Scoping Review
ConclusionWhile not commonly used, several semi-quantitative and one quantitative approach for synthesizing results of DCEs were identified, which may be useful for generating summary estimates across DCEs when appropriate. Further work is needed to assess the validity and usefulness of these approaches. (Source: The Patient - Patient-Centered Outcomes Research)
